superstorm sandy claims at least thirteen lives as it slams into east coast america forcing barack obama and we try to put it down just days ahead of the presidential election. no bailout needed pay the end its in its prime ministers insist that countries don't need help but their latest economic forecasts are as financial collapse is a looming. it's not a foreign powers for refusing to negotiate with all the sides in the syrian conflict that's after all violence before there's a one for the words. international

news live from moscow this is all she was me. hello and welcome to the program the race for the u.s. presidency has been struck by superstorm sandy which hits hard at america's eastern seaboard packing a deadly puncture claimed at least thirteen lives before losing some steam as it moved further inland at least five million have been left without electricity in several states an explosion at a power plant in new york plunged a large part of the city into darkness have a raise are expected to continue for at least another twenty four hours i mean to the flooding in the area. now reports now from the eye of the storm i mean the one . super storm has been reading all a lot of havoc on new york and nearby state downtown lower manhattan by battery park there are some devastating scenes unfolding the search the tide is about thirteen feet lower manhattan is literally under water and we have seen throughout the city some cranes collapsing

a building on the west side of manhattan collapsed tens of thousands of people have been displaced from their homes millions are now without power in me. included and clearly this storm is not over we don't know how bad it's going to get is of course the more south you are in manhattan but you can't disregard the the outer boroughs like queens and brooklyn and staten island. all of all of new yorkers right now are suffering i should extend that to all those living in new jersey virginia maryland all along the east coast this is this is a brutal storm it may be easing up but but clearly it is causing significant damage a sandy is quickly becoming a huge player in this two thousand tom alexion. us president barack obama and his opponent mitt romney they both have suspended their campaigning events for a monday and tuesday president obama returned to washington d.c. he addressed the nation about the series weather conditions told americans that

this is a very extreme and really big. storm and everyone should be taking this circumstance very seriously now on the gallup poll what's interesting is that they have announced that they are suspending their daily election polling due to this hurricane hurricane sandy it's not clear when they will be good polling again but sandy is likely to accept early voting early voting typically helps i've democrats but we don't know what kind of damage will be caused by next week how are people going to get to the polls in six or seven days that is the major concern but that's something that we can insist pete and we until we see the opera math. to us in the home hayden says certain to go to hell. with a vote between the candidates. destroy in the legitimacy of the election potentially on the east coast early voting is being wiped out in these cities

and states the voting of the elderly on the election day the voting of the poor on election day the voting of new yorkers on election day is likely to be diminished through no fault of their own and that will affect the outcome of the election but at the same time it's extremely possible to manipulate the computers so if it's a close election it will be protested and contested as illegitimate for days and days and into the future just as the election between gore and bush. was seen by most americans as stolen that could happen again so we are in for a an electoral crisis i think of a very very profound nature. even as wall street closed down in the face of sunday anti corporate o'keeffe by accident still believe the bankers will come out trying

the presidential campaign has become the most expensive in u.s. history with major corporations pouring billions into both counts independent journalist jane and mass and believes this will keep the occupy movement growing even often action day. the presidential election united states really sucks all of the oxygen out of the room there is essentially no political work that can be done during an election i would say that the many different organizing projects that different. organizers and instrumental motivators in occupy have taken on in this period without you know media spotlight actually argue quite well for the future of the movement but there's a moment of political maturation happening among occupiers and i think that. you know occupy was she was really useful in that it introduced everybody to each other and get everyone a common vocabulary and a common conceptual framework for understanding the problems and that people are organizing in solidarity with one another in a in

a really promising way but essentially the story of american politics is that it is completely incapable of reforming it is intransigent it is in the death grip of a system of corporate acquisition and accumulation that we cannot get out. and we'll have more live updates on superstorm sandy on our web site called coverage of the presidential race also continues as the take all the mainstream's missing and you can watch the final round of debates between the threats past candidates right here on now sitting next monday. we both agree we agree we had to bring the tax rates down i felt the same as the president did. you agree let's go back to something the president i agree on and you tube you agree that the voters have a choice you know with you wondering who to vote for what are romney and obama agree on so many things remember you do have other options come november sixth tune in to see the second round of debates between the major third party candidates

right here on r.g.p. . spain and italy is prime minister denying claims their countries will be seeking financial help any time soon mario monti and mariano rajoy house tries that getting bailout cash is not in the interest of their people but as countries have already faced mass protests with people venting their frustration over biting spending cuts that estates are trapped in a severe recession with unemployment numbers reaching alarm the heights and financial expert patrick young says the leaders claims of a no they in our future borders on think. we've got the italian and spanish leaders who obviously don't read their own newspapers i mean just to give an example last week the spanish said they would launch an eighteen billion euro from to be allowed the regions by today can target the ninth region had their little share of the pile and they've already therefore got commitments for seventeen point six billion up to nine regions of space and there are lots of other regions that are bankrupt to go

certainly should be in desperately need to be alive we'll be lucky to escape with i want to run hollywood good on history is the man who ultimately signed your roof through an unbelievable pig headed obstinacy when he simply refused to appreciate the fact that he has country slip by bridge and ultimately the spanish economy at the moment is going towards where it was about nine hundred seventy two when franco was still alive and well. meanwhile greece is being forced to introduce a hundred fifty more financial reforms by its international creditors this is a joe this was arrested after publishing a list of the country's top tax dodgers with secret it's always bank accounts cost as vaxevanis says the same information was given to the greek authorities to get ago by christine legarde who was the french prime minister french finance minister at the time they also are it is decided not to let illegal acts but georgia true gallo's says does a good stations should have been investigated then. the baby could not use it up

the court exactly because it was not legal. but they could start investigating these names if they can neglect that so i think this is just an early but i was the only who's in the appendix it's now that the journalist that gets published in this material is still going after this suspect it's getting lots of tax evasion they're going after the list it would be a grave media of difference is a go to the sentiment of injustice that now i would hate to see this in this field . would be some subset of these people better than the we're all facing now so maybe he needs to be used for the not to be is all powerful i know several of them but it could be a food stamp but the numbers for god and justice league are good political terms. and later in the program will tell you how the crisis is pushing some to find. it's

not the people that are the problem it's the banks that have the problem try thought well i'll end of that so that's what i did. by the economic was that here is where the banks why because businessmen find his other way to support the local paper here will bring you the story in a couple of. the world for the future science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. the. motion. which brightened a few. songs from funniest impressions. means

princetown totty dot com. is eve. eve. eat. some folks. get off sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

do we speak your language anytime of the law or not a day of. school news programs and documentaries and spanish more matters to you breaking news a little turn to angle us kiddies stories the took a huge here. in troy i'll teach spanish to find out more visit eye to eye all tito is calm. this is also a welcome back. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has all signs in the syrian conflict or open dialogue that stops or a u.n. brokered truce failed to hold funds between government troops on the rebels' international envoy lakhdar brahimi of polish of the talks most think that some violence during the cease fire was committed by extremist groups operating in syria and russia or various foreign states that should take responsibility for the functions of syria they support and convince them to lay down arms but there's also

u.s. policy of course with western nations and not wanting to change that stance which. things have gone from bad to worse in a region powered by the hope of change not so long ago in libya one year after the revolution i guess shells and artillery reportedly being used against peaceful civilians lebanon is on the brink of civil war and syria is already by someone you do there's a process of another reformatting of the geo political map of the middle east when various players try to secure that geo political position we consider this counterproductive such measures imposed from outside can never gave a stable long term result. this is the result of waste and efforts to encourage the so-called democratization of the arab world countries in ruins tens of thousands killed and hundreds of thousands maybe

a few g.'s but western nations it seems are still no way to stop we are going to do everything we can to make sure that we are helping the opposition and to further pressure and isolate the regime seeing syria remove assad is a very high priority for us and it's not me and lipservice washington and its european allies are assisting the rebels to get rid of assad i'm sure of one thing the syrian regime will never find its place among the community of nations it has no future among us that is why france will recognize a provisional government representing the new free syria once it's been formed. but if assad goes it's almost guaranteed that the carnage will continue so the question i sowed protects minorities including the christians that have lived in syria for hundreds of years even the strictest estimates of the situation received from our west european partners says that at least one third of the population still back assad regarding him is a person destined not to let syria turn into

a country impossible for minorities to live in. and no more than ever syria's instability threatens the security of neighboring neighbors. we're here to the u.s. has made it clear it supports a new government it was a false hope that the lebanese intelligence officer was killed that murder prompted widespread condemnation and a call for the international community to stay out of domestic affairs a message the international community would do well to heed if only to prevent the region from forming into through the chaos today we're seeing the western and g.c.c. led counter revolution while at the same time on one hand the west is is proclaiming some kind of backing of people you know rights to self-determination through this arab spring and actually what they're doing is unwinding it for them in countries like bahrain in yemen in countries like libya and in syria where the west has

actively sought to foment rebellion and force regime change a reality far from the minds of those who once championed the arab spring and what it could bring. some penetrating analysis on syria on the expanding influence of its neighbors coming up in just over an hour the head of russia's parliamentary foreign affairs committee said talks about his role in the conflict but here's a quick. tour if you can read or direct itself into this conflict you know that the war in syria. may have a lot of traps for turkey and it's a question of the turkey has refrained until now from crossing the border and sending its ground troops to syria because it's easier to go in it's difficult to get out and the story of all the conflicts there against iraq whatever shows that you go in and the decision is taken

a couple of days and then takes two years and years and years to get out so i don't think that the turkish government is really willing to open a war. with the syrian government. but. those two states are basically on the brink of war so really kind of not. should be untied part by part so now i think it's high time to start to untie the syrian. stories now from around the world for you this hour police in western kenya have quieted down crowds of protesters indignant over the murder of a prominent local politician several people are reported killed in the clashes the riots erupted after parliamentary hopeful shot by unknown assailants while driving in town with his wife protesters blame the police followed ties with gangsters and

deteriorating security. authorities in turkey have fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse a bond rally in the capital ankara thousands took to the streets demanding a more secular state and that of asriel the founding of the republic bible stuff are ataturk many now fear the current government has islamist tendencies that threaten tech is a liberal principles. eighty five percent of ballots have been counted so far in the ukraine ukrainian poem entry election with the ruling party in the lead less than ten percent separates it from the opposition which seeks the impeachment of incumbent president a victory in a call which however they voted has been criticized by international observers for what they call the excessive use of money during election season to save your chef's case as the balance of power may lie with the independent party. the future of ukraine's parliament still looks pretty much uncertain as it stands the ruling party along with the communists are winning this election with the majority of the

votes but the exit poll results which came out late on sunday suggested that the opposition parties may be gaining some kind of advantage in the future parliament and in that case things would be looking very grim for the ruling party and for the current president victory on the college because the opposition has been saying all along that it would impeach the president should it get a majority in parliament and why in one way or another still the biggest intrigue in the future parliament is who the former boxer the former heavyweight champion of the world and his party will be joining in an alliance in the case that the ruling party does not get a complete majority in parliament then it will be klitschko who will be the decisive figure if he decides to join the alliance of the opposition parties which are already signed an agreement to join you in the coalition in the future parliament things would go would go in a very much unpredictable scenario in the ukraine the parliament voting itself according to the domestic and international observers have been more or less free of any major force if occasions certainly we are waiting for the official results

to come out from the central action commission of ukraine but that may take several days and we expecting the final results to come out not earlier than wednesday this week and we'll certainly be bringing all the latest updates and all the latest results on the great parliamentary election as we get them. and on also home right now going to treasure hunt through a shapes i don't feel this at cross and. see of us with a fine tooth comb in search for a vanished russian congress seven hundred tons of pressure. to face trial for allowing children to rack up charges off that parents credit cards find out the details on. people across the globe to use different ways to vent their anger at they could all be crisis. some are resigned they find out some opt for direct action laura smith tells us now this story a one businessman who decided to spearhead changes to the system by declaring

himself a financial institution. hello thank you. for long ok thank you dave fyshwick is a cheeky northern charmer he made his fortune selling minibuses in his hometown as burnley but instead of fancy holidays and expensive cars when the credit crisis hit dave wanted to give something back so he decided to open a bank late two thousand and eight early two thousand and nine my mini. me to get funded for as the last fifteen years but overnight that just stopped the banks just stopped lending to the to the customers and i'm thinking other done something wrong have they made a mistake of that up at the gas bill electric bill you know it's not the people that are the problem it's the banks have the problem try thought arland of them so that's what it bank on dave he says although thanks to extensive red tape he's not actually allowed to call himself

a bank and he's keen to differentiate himself from banks in other ways too he offers five percent on savings and he lends that money out to his local community and no bonuses and the profits go to charity now in our state but there just isn't a day in every town more's the pity so his isn't a model which could be rolled out nationwide in its current form but financial experts say lessons can be learnt for a healthier banking system one point is clear and this is a point that the bank makes in a way is that banking has just moved too far away from its roots and its basic need to understand to saving with. highly leveraged gain. dave's ultimate goal is to bring banking back to its roots no more faceless conglomerates where computers and mavericks make the

decisions and the one percent pockets unimaginable bonuses instead local banks for local people run by the community to benefit the community it's not a new idea in fact it's how banking used to be before the mega box and mega banks stepped in and dave starting to get some political support you have to take save us money and invest it in real productive activity to take responsibility for doing it which is not the way that banking currently works in his comical kind of crazy we're showing the way to a better banking system which is responsible local in touch with entrepreneurship which actually could be the basis for going forward there's certainly got to be some way forward as wave after wave of scandal hits the financial sector banking on dave and others like him looks more and more attractive one of the sayings i use a lawyer people who rob banks go to prison bank to real people get paid bonuses

that has to stop laura smith forty birmingham. some business near this case an hour and thirty days here looks like it's set to be a quiet day for investors yeah that's because the new york financial markets will indeed be closed and that will be for a second day and it's really a safety precaution because hurricane sandy as you've been reporting yourself slammed into the east coast of the u.s. and its flaws in the financial district and actually the estimated financial cost of the monster storm is being estimated at twenty billion dollars so we know wall street close to follow on from its domestic news that is dictating the asian session right now we've got positive earnings results coming out for japan including. fine you've. solved reports the company is in talks with apple and google now there's also a crucial bank of japan meeting taking place later on that say it's going to be

some clues on stimulus measures so investors are holding out for that is property stocks so that is suffering in home called and that's also the government's decision to impose its first property task also find out shows are having a bad day of it as well now oil prices they all lower we've got crude now trading at a three month low that is u.s. refineries caught crude result should in anticipation of a plunge in energy devolve going to hurricane sandy the common currency it's been trading a flat the pair is down around twenty five percent so far this week the ruble we commence trading at less than an hour's time you can see it lost out by the euro and the u.s. dollar meanwhile the actions as well they too had a bad day of it on monday bad start to the week really no international action to feed off on those who so it's a climbing price to contend with as well meanwhile the russian president vladimir putin has requested that get scrub stars in the east in the pipeline in the blood
